Phenomenology and the Contents of Perception

Molyneux’s Problem

William Molyneux sent a letter to John Locke in which he put forward the following problem:

Whether a man who has been born blind and who has learnt to distinguish and name a globe and a cube by touch, would be able to distinguish and name these objects simply by sight, once he had been enabled to see.

My answer: Nein. He would not.
